Publication number: 20190295001Abstract: Various embodiments are provided for cognitive data curation in an Internet of Things (IoT) computing environment by a processor. Each data flow and mapping of the data flows may be related to one or more concepts and relationships between the one or more concepts. One or more inconsistencies may be identified between those data flows used to answer a query for time-series data pertaining to the one or more concepts. The inconsistencies between those of the plurality of data flows may be corrected using inference and reasoning via a machine learning operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2018Publication date: September 26, 2019Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Francesco FUSCO, Francesco VIGLIATURO

Patent number: 10250956Abstract: In an approach for adaptive sampling of smart meter data, a computer retrieves one or more balancing constraints associated with one or more smart meter sensors. The computer retrieves meter sensor data from the one or more smart meter sensors according to the one or more balancing constraints. The computer determines a subsample of the meter sensor data based, at least in part, on one or more similar consumption patterns of meter sensor data, and then transmits the subsample of the meter sensor data to an optimization engine for use in solving an optimization problem.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Carlos A.

Publication number: 20180260499Abstract: A fluid is modeled as a set of discrete particles. Each of the particles is associated with one or more properties, and a spatial distance comprising a smoothing length over which the one or more properties are to be smoothed. A corresponding trajectory is simulated for each of the particles. The corresponding trajectory is used to formulate a first solution for simulating transport within the fluid. A first predicted error is determined for the first solution. An iterative adjustment is performed to at least one of: a quantity of particles, the smoothing length, or the one or more corresponding properties, to formulate a second solution for simulating transport with the fluid, and a second predicted error is determined for the second solution, until the second predicted error is within a predefined boundary.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2017Publication date: September 13, 2018Inventors: Francesco Fusco, Fearghal O'Donncha, Emanuele Ragnoli

Patent number: 9940344Abstract: An apparatus sets a layer counter to point to a first layer of a data structure. The apparatus determines the layer counter to reference an overflowing cell. The apparatus increments the layer counter to point to a second layer of the data structure. The apparatus determines the incremented layer counter to reference a non-overflowing cell. The apparatus increments a value of the non-overflowing cell, wherein the first layer is stored in a first cache and the second layer is stored in a second cache, and wherein the first cache differs from the second cache with respect to one or more of speed or size.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2014Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Francesco Fusco, Daniel Borkmann, Thomas Graf
